I wanted to be able to lose myself in a crowd of family and friends if I went out. Now I go to festivals, car shows and craft fairs almost every weekend and will go by myself if I can’t find someone to go with me. I have fun going out now. I used to live to eat, constantly thinking about what my next meal would be and when I could eat it. Now I eat to live; food is the fuel I put in my body so I can live my life.
